Valencia MotoGP runner-up Jack Miller has likened his last-lap battle with Franco Morbidelli yesterday to a Moto3 race and said it was a lot of fun.

The Australian had to give best to Morbidelli, who won by less than a tenth of a second, but Miller said he gave it as much as he could for the victory.

"That was so, so close. when you get beaten in a MotoGP race by about five metres after 27 laps you'd think I'd be disappointed or even a bit angry, but definitely not today.

"That was great fun out there, I did everything I could, and I got a great result. Less than a tenth of a second from it being a greater one, but Franky was faultless and you have to hand it to him. But finishing second and having as much fun as I did, that's a good Sunday for me.

"It was a fantastic last-lap battle, you really enjoy fights like that and even more on a tight track like Valencia is. Battling with these big bikes when it's that tight, just unreal.

"It was like a Moto3 race. Imagine how the crowd would have gone off if we'd had fans in the stands. It was about the one thing that was a shame today.

"I gave it my all, fought as hard as I could, gave as good as I got and just missed out. No regrets because I gave it everything. Full respect to Franky too because it was a clean and sporting fight, nothing dirty or unfair, and that's how it should be when the stakes are as high as that."
